UN General Assembly Votes To End U.S. Embargo of Cuba

HeadlineNov 09, 2005

And for the fourteenth consecutive year, the U.N. General Assembly has cast a near unanimous vote calling on the United States to end its four-decade old embargo against Cuba. The vote passed with a record 184 countries in favor. Only the United States, Israel, Palau and the Marshall Islands voted against. United States envoy to the U.N. Ronald Godard said: “If the people of Cuba are jobless, hungry, or lack medical care, as Castro admits, it’s because of his economic mismanagement.”
